Genting Highlands Toll Starts 28th May; Fee Starts From RM3.30

By  at May 26, 2026    No comments

In case you haven’t heard the news, Genting Highlands will start charging visitors a toll fee. Following the initial announcement in November 2025, there is now an official starting date for the toll and the charges.

According to reports, the Genting Highlands toll will start charging from 28th May 2026 (Thursday) onwards. However, the charges will be implemented in two phases, with the second phase starting on 28th June 2026 (Sunday). Lingkaran Cekap Sdn Bhd will be the authorised road operator for Jalan Genting Highlands. The charges will be collected when motorists enter through Genting Sempah or through Gohtong Jaya.

SOURCE: TWITTER (@staronline)

All permitted vehicles, except exempted categories, are required to pay upon entering Genting Highlands. The exempted vehicle categories are emergency vehicles, motorcycles, and private vehicles belonging to public servants working at designated government institutions located in Genting Highlands, such as schools and hospitals. Here are the vehicle classes required to pay the toll, and the charges:

  • Class 1 – Car/Van: RM5
  • Class 2 – Medium Lorry: RM15
  • Class 3 – Heavy Lorry: RM25
  • Class 4 – Taxis: RM3.30
  • Class 5 – Bus: RM5

Classes 2, 3, 4 and 5 must enter the toll through the designated “Lorong Khas” lanes or use the license plate recognition (LPR) system. Meanwhile, the second phase will see preferential schemes for permanent residents of Genting Highlands. Lingkaran Cekap said each household will be allowed to register up to two Class 1 vehicles and opt for a preferential rate that is 10% lower than the standard charge or subscribe to a six-month unlimited entries season pass.

However, Lingkaran Cekap also added that it will periodically review the exemptions and preferential rates to reflect operational and policy requirements. If you’re wondering why the toll is needed, Genting Malaysia explained that the fee is to cover the maintenance costs for the private road. The company has borne the costs since the 1960s and added that imposing a fee is the most sustainable option for the future.

Since the implementation will take place later this week, and during a school holiday, those planning to drive up to Genting Highlands or visit Resorts World Genting will have to take note. Visit Lingkaran Cekap’s official website for more information.

M’sians Urged To Opt For Badminton Courts With AED Availability & Staff Trained for Medical Emergencies

By  at May 25, 2026    No comments

Philanthropist, Kuan Chee Heng, who is also affectionately known as Uncle Kentang, is urging badminton players to opt for courts that have Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) on standby.

This comes after multiple instances of badminton players losing their lives from experiencing medical emergencies while playing the beloved sport.

Chee Heng Kuan | Facebook

Uncle Kentang, who runs an RM1 ambulance service, shared how his medical team managed to assist a 68-year-old badminton player who experienced severe chest pain, vomiting and breathing difficulties while playing at a court in Selangor.

His medical team had arrived at the badminton court under 6 minutes of receiving the emergency call in regards to the elderly man and rushed him to a hospital. Though, unfortunately, the man passed away after a few hours at the hospital.

 

The importance of AEDs & medical training

Having known about several similar incidents in the past, where badminton players ended up passing away while experiencing medical emergencies at badminton courts, he called for badminton players to opt for courts that have AEDs available and have trained their staff in medical assistance such as Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

“95% of badminton players will die at courts due to ambulances arriving after the golden time of rescue,”

“Not many badminton players know CPR and the usage of AEDs. I do not know if (the badminton court) has an AED nor do we know if the operating staff knows about CPR and AEDs. Many bosses just open courts and make money, but are stingy to buy AEDs,”

“For badminton lovers, please make sure your venue of play has AEDs and personnel that are well trained in cardiac arrest and other emergencies. Don’t play at courts without adhering to primary safety measures such as AED machine availability and knowledge of CPR,” he said.

TWICE Jihyo Shares Why The Group Needs Oxygen Tanks While On Tour

By  at May 25, 2026    No comments

K-Pop sensation TWICE (트와이스) has been on the road for their “This Is For” tour for almost a year, performing shows every other day. The members have repeatedly been candid about the hardships of touring, but one recent revelation adds to the growing list.

The girl group is currently in Europe for the last leg of their world tour. They recently concluded a show in Berlin and are set to perform in Cologne today (Tuesday, 26th May 2026). Amid their busy schedule, the TWICE members would interact with fans through the Bubble messaging app, including answering some questions.

SOURCE: TWITTER (@JYPETWICE)
SOURCES: TWITTER (@godmitzu)

Earlier this week, a fan reached out to leader Jihyo (지효) through Bubble, asking about the oxygen tanks they noticed in some of the group’s backstage photos. The fan questioned whether the members often use supplemental oxygen during their performances, to which the 29-year-old idol said yes.

According to Jihyo, the group’s choreographies can be very physically demanding. When paired with back-to-back performances, it can leave the girls exhausted and out of breath. The singer notes that the oxygen tanks come in handy when the dizziness gets very bad. However, Jihyo never mentioned how often she uses supplemental oxygen throughout the tour.

Nevertheless, the revelation sparked interest among fans, with many saying the oxygen tanks prove how hard the members work for the tour. They also praised the group for giving their all for their shows, saying the idols have never sparked criticism for “lazy performance” despite being ten years into their debut.

SOURCES: TWITTER (@godmitzu)

On the other hand, some expressed sympathy towards the idols, arguing that they wouldn’t need such medical aid if the tour schedule weren’t so packed and taxing. It’s also worth noting that several of the TWICE members have pulled out of performances during the tour’s run due to health issues.

Meanwhile, the “This Is For” world tour is nearing the end, with just a handful of shows left in Germany, the Netherlands and England. Let’s hope the members will have plenty of time to rest and recharge after concluding the tour.

Charlene Choi Debuts Short Hairstyle; Netizens Quip She’s Preparing To Have Kids

By  at May 25, 2026    No comments

It’s been nearly a month since Hong Kong star Charlene Choi (蔡卓妍) announced her marriage to fitness trainer Elvis Lam (林俊賢). Naturally, netizens have begun to wonder if the couple have any plans to start a family.

In case you haven’t heard, Charlene and Elvis tied the knot late last April, just months after confirming their relationship. While the couple did face some unfounded rumours of marital problems weeks into their marriage, the two quickly dismissed the claims, assuring the public that they’re happy and still deep in the honeymoon phase.

However, fans are now speculating that Charlene and Elvis are preparing for the next phase of their relationship. Over the weekend, the Twins singer debuted a shorter hairstyle, chopping off her trademark long hair. The singer notes that the weather has been too hot and humid lately, so cutting off some length felt cooling and refreshing.

The new hairstyle earned praises from Charlene’s friends and fans, but it also prompted some pregnancy speculation. It’s said that women tend to cut their hair shorter after having children to make it easier for them to maintain when they’re busy caring for their kids. Some netizens quipped that the new shorter hair is a sign that Charlene is getting ready to start a family.

SOURCE: INSTAGRAM (@choisaaaa)

It’s worth noting that Charlene, fondly known as Ah Sa (阿Sa), has long expressed her wish to have a large family. The 43-year-old even decided to undergo egg-freezing treatment a few years ago to preserve her fertility. The star reportedly completed two procedures, successfully retrieving and storing 20 eggs.

For now, there are no other signs that Charlene and Elvis are preparing to have children. Nevertheless, we wish the pair all the best in their future. And if they really do want to have kids, we hope everything goes smoothly for the couple.
